Thermo Fisher Joins European Food Integrity Project
Thermo Fisher Scientific has been selected as a partner of INTELLItrace Work Package (WP) 18, part of the European Food Integrity Project aimed at developing a validation of untargeted methods to assure the quality, authenticity, and safety of the food chain.
Thermo Fisher Scientific has been selected as a partner of INTELLItrace Work Package (WP) 18, part of the European Food Integrity Project aimed at developing a validation of untargeted methods to assure the quality, authenticity, and safety of the food chain.
Thermo Fisher will provide the data needed for the accurate tracking and authenticity, enabling other project partners, such as Mérieux Nutrisciences, to identify known and unknown adulterants in food.
“This collaboration is just one example of the steps we are taking to strengthen our partnerships with customers, researchers, and regulatory agencies,” said Khalil Divan, senior director, global food and beverage market, Thermo Fisher. “It is through participation in collaborative projects like the European Food Integrity Project that we have the opportunity to address industry challenges and further develop our analytical tools and methods used to ensure consumers have access to safe food and beverages.”
The project is a European-based consortium that brings together organizations working across a range of industries, including producers, distributors, regulators, researchers, and consumers, to assure the integrity of the food chain and enhance consumer confidence in the foods they purchase. The INTELLItrace WP 18 will focus on improving the detection of adulterated products, such as honey, wine, meat, fish, olive oil, and coffee.

AI and GenAI Applications to Help Optimize Purification and Yield of Antibodies From Plasma
October 31st 2024Deriving antibodies from plasma products involves several steps, typically starting from the collection of plasma and ending with the purification of the desired antibodies. These are: plasma collection; plasma pooling; fractionation; antibody purification; concentration and formulation; quality control; and packaging and storage. This process results in a purified antibody product that can be used for therapeutic purposes, diagnostic tests, or research. Each step is critical to ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality of the final product. Applications of AI/GenAI in many of these steps can significantly help in the optimization of purification and yield of the desired antibodies. Some specific use-cases are: selecting and optimizing plasma units for optimized plasma pooling; GenAI solution for enterprise search on internal knowledge portal; analysing and optimizing production batch profitability, inventory, yields; monitoring production batch key performance indicators for outlier identification; monitoring production equipment to predict maintenance events; and reducing quality control laboratory testing turnaround time.
